Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1652 - 1076 Human Race Strength

The Demon Ancestor was able to refine the Immortal Slaying Four Swords using Sumeru Mountain, so naturally, Jiang Chen could do so as well. However, the sword he aimed to refine was not the Immortal Slaying Four Swords but rather the Innate Treasure, the Hongmeng Slaying Sword.

At that time, Jiang Chen, in order to fight his enemies, had traversed space and time, borrowing power from the future.

His future self used the three innate Divine Swords—Taichu, Dutian, and Pure Yang—to evolve the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, thereby refining the Innate Treasure Hongmeng Slaying Sword, which possessed the ability to obliterate heaven and earth and return everything to the primordial Hongmeng state.

From that day onward, Jiang Chen had secretly noted this matter and continued to harbor the ambition to refine the Hongmeng Slaying Sword.

Unfortunately, after a hundred years, there was still no sign of the Hongmeng Slaying Sword taking shape.

During this time, Jiang Chen had not been idle; instead, he had continuously worked hard, even finding the Chaotic Placental Membrane to enhance the power of the three swords.

But this was still not enough. Even with the assistance of the Yuan Tu and Abi swords, the Taichu, Dutian, and Pure Yang swords still lacked something, and they stubbornly refused to merge into one.

Jiang Chen had previously been puzzled, but now, upon seeing the Demon Ancestor’s imprint on Sumeru Mountain, he suddenly understood.

In the universe, the ultimate number is nine. The innate slaying swords nurtured by heaven and earth number nine in total.

If one seeks to perfect the Dao of Innate Slaughter, one must gather all nine innate slaying swords. Jiang Chen had only obtained five, lacking four, and naturally, it could not reach perfection.

The missing four innate slaying swords were none other than the Immortal Slaying Four Swords.

The Immortal Slaying Four Swords, combined with Yuan Tu, Abi, Taichu, Dutian, and Pure Yang, are the nine most powerful innate slaying swords in the Prehistoric World, representing the pinnacle of the Sword Path and the ultimate expression of the Dao of Slaughter.

To birth the Hongmeng Slaying Sword, the Taichu, Dutian, and Pure Yang swords needed to devour the sword intent of the Immortal Slaying Four Swords. However, now, where could Jiang Chen find the Immortal Slaying Four Swords?

After the collapse of the Jiejiao Sect, the Immortal Slaying Four Swords fell into the hands of the Chan Teaching Golden Immortals.

Previously, before Jiang Chen had attained the Tao, he could have acted against the Chan Teaching Golden Immortals and seized the Immortal Slaying Four Swords from their hands.

Even if the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign were displeased, he would not have made a fuss, considering that Jiang Chen was a disciple of an Upper Qing Saint.

But now, it was no longer possible. Jiang Chen’s cultivation had grown too powerful. If he acted against the Chan Teaching Golden Immortals at this moment, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign would undoubtedly go mad, determined to retaliate against Jiang Chen at any cost, launching frenzied attacks against the leadership of the Human Race.

Being powerful does not come without its drawbacks. What was once simple now required meticulous consideration.

This was because, once a cultivator’s level of cultivation reached a certain peak, they no longer merely represented themselves but also the force behind them.

With the fate of a race resting on his shoulders, Jiang Chen’s heart had grown tender, and his actions could no longer be as reckless as before; he had to carefully weigh the pros and cons.

If he couldn’t act against the Chan Teaching Golden Immortals, how could he obtain the Immortal Slaying Four Swords?

Before him, Sumeru Mountain provided Jiang Chen with an answer. As the sword furnace used to refine the Immortal Slaying Four Swords, Sumeru Mountain had preserved all the mysteries of the Immortal Slaying Four Swords.

What Jiang Chen needed to do now was to emulate the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, using Sumeru Mountain as the sword furnace and casting the Taichu, Dutian, and Pure Yang swords into it, thereby refining the Hongmeng Slaying Sword.

During the refinement process, the mysteries of the Immortal Slaying Four Swords preserved by Sumeru Mountain would naturally merge with the three swords, completing them.

He proceeded directly to the depths of Sumeru Mountain, to the place where the Demon Ancestor’s imprint was located. Jiang Chen first took a glance and then, without hesitation, stepped into the imprint.

Swish, swish, swish...

Boundless blood-colored sword energy surged forth, intent on annihilating everything in its path. This was the residual sword intent left by the Demon Ancestor during the refining of the Immortal Slaying Four Swords, transformed from the calamity energy and slaughter energy of the Quantitative Calamity—primitive and pure in the extreme.

Within the flickering sword light, faintly visible were countless Primordial Three Tribes members wailing and fighting.

In the era before the Great Ancient, belonging to the time of the Primordial Three Tribes, all their essence converged on Sumeru Mountain and mixed with the Original Source of Chaos Demigods, thus creating the unparalleled sharpness of the Immortal Slaying Four Swords.

The power of this sword light was such that even if a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial were to brush against it, they would shed a layer of skin, with wounds that would be difficult to heal.

"Sword, come!"

Facing the surging sword light, Jiang Chen did not choose to retreat. Instead, he summoned the five innate slaying swords he possessed.

Instantly, an even stronger sword energy soared skyward. The five innate slaying swords stood upright, releasing a terrifying pressure that seemed to break through Chaos, forcing the raging sword light to roll back in retreat.

The Yuan Tu and Abi swords, along with the Taichu, Dutian, and Pure Yang swords, after years of refinement, had long reached their respective limits, each at the peak of innate spiritual treasures—just a step away from becoming Innate Treasures.

At this moment, it would not be an exaggeration to say that even if the original Immortal Slaying Four Swords were present, in terms of sword might, the five swords might overshadow them.

If even the Immortal Slaying Four Swords’ original forms were inferior in might compared to the five swords, their residual sword energy certainly posed no contest.

With the appearance of the five swords, the outcome was determined. The Immortal Slaying Sword energy permeating the entire space was suppressed in an instant, pacified from its wild rage by the dominating pressure of the five swords.

"So much Original Source sword energy—if I could devour it all, the completion of the Hongmeng Slaying Sword as an Innate Treasure should be close at hand."

Surveying his surroundings, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction. He then used a secret technique to seal the Yuan Tu and Abi swords, preventing them from absorbing the Immortal Slaying Sword energy in this place.

Truth be told, the Immortal Slaying Sword energy remaining here was limited. Just the consumption required for the Taichu, Dutian, and Pure Yang swords would already strain its capacity. If Yuan Tu and Abi were added, the energy would undoubtedly fall short.
